 Very Cute
My daughter and I have read this book several times and enjoy the DVD as well. It's a great story to read to any child as they will enjoy the wonderful story and all the fun Dora shares with her friends.
 Ye gods.
This is so utterly moronic... Only people who were already drinking the Dora kool-aid (or had seen this story on TV) could think that this string of words could actually pass for a "story." God, "Dora" is a dumb show. At least with the books you don't have to hear the obnoxious, whiny voiceovers. I feel sorry for kids who get parked in front of the 'tube when "Dora" is on... What a terrible way to spend your childhood.
A Refreshing Depature From The Usual
In a typical Dora the Explorer book, Dora and her friend, Boots, must consult Map to complete an objective. For example, in the book Dora Goes to School, they needed to go to Letter Town and through Number Mountain in order to get Maestra Beatriz to school on time.
However, Dance to the Rescue is a refreshing change from this formula. In fact, Map isn't even in the book.
In the story, a wily dancing Elf is trapped in a magic bottle. Swiper feels sorry for him and releases him. However, a part of the bottle's magic is that it pulls Swiper inside to take his place.
Dora and Boots have to figure out how to get Swiper out of the bottle--without getting sucked inside to replace him! The magic bottle tells them they must go to the Castle to win the King's dance contest in order to win one big wish. This wish can be used to free Swiper.
Dora and Boots encounter marching ants, wiggling spiders and sneaky snakes on the journey--including some old friends who happen to sail the Ocean!
What's neat about this book is that there are instructions at each challenge which encourage the child to get up and move. For example, Dora and Boots can't get past the marching ants until they march, march, march!
Dora's Dance to the Rescue is quite colorful and longer than the usual Dora books. The new storytelling twists--including introducing several new characters and creatures--is a refreshing departure from the usual simplistic formula.
My son really enjoys this book, too.
I hope to see more Dora books like this one!
